Working on Starry Starry Night Lion King


When it comes to painting in Photoshop, I find I do have to have a few layers. But the computer is very slow so I have to keep collapsing the layers so it won't slow the painting process down. It's not that the computer is faulty, it's rather that they haven't designed a computer to keep up with artist at an affordable price. 

Painting of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice


This is the Character Mr.Darcy from Jane-Austin Novel "Pride and Prejudice".

Painting portraits regardless of the tools you use is always a bit of a challenge. You can work on it and for some reason you'll always find that after a while it still looks not how you envision it. But at the same time many of us enjoy looking at portraits of people.

Black and White Lord of the Rings Artwork




Lord of the Rings Fan Art

I've been working on creating a collection of Lord of the Rings fan art from the movies. I thought perhaps if I created it in black and white in the scratchboard style, it would be a different approach and might look good on dark clothing.

Black shirts are pretty popular color to wear these days. Black can be seen as a timeless classic color to wear. These illustrations are created by looking at the characters faces in photos. You can create similar work by drawing images from the movie. 

The images I have chosen are more Rembrandt in style. The black and white helps the characters features to pop out. My favorite one is Gandalf the Grey. I do hope to create all the characters in the cast. Perhaps some of the celebrities will be able to see these images. You can right click and download them or take a screen shot of these for your computer.

Let me know you're a fan or which Character you'd like to see next. If you would like to own a copy or have it on a t-shirt check out
